Park Lot 30

West of Sheridan Avenue to Margueretta Street

Designated for (or perhaps requested by) Justice Allcock, but never finalized. Granted to James Brock, 17 March 1812 and the patent was issued 13 April 1812. Brock died 27 March 1830 and Park Lot 30 became the property of his wife Susannah Lucy Quirke Brock when his will was registered on title 19 June 1833.

Above: This detail of the patent plan of York Township shows the narrow 100-acre Park Lots stretching between today's Queen Street and Bloor Street. A patent plan was an important working document in the surveyor's office showing the land ownership. Perhaps as early as 1796, this plan certainly dates from prior to 1834 when the Town of York changed to the City of Toronto.
